Happy Homes.

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. The moral
list and the preacher have hackneyed
this theme until it would seem nothing
more remained to be said. But the
philosophers have gone far out OF. their
way to account for the prevalence of ILL
assorted couples and unhappy homes,
and have overlooked the chief cause.
Most of the unhappiness of married life
can be traced directly to those function
al arrangements to which women are
subject. In nine cases out of ten the
irritable, dissatisfied and unhappy wife
is a sufferer from some female COM

happiness than a million sermons or

those peculiar weaknesses and ailments

The people of Lake Crystal are al
most unanimously of the opinion that
the fire was started by an incendiary,
and suspicion already points to one or
two persons. Should the dastardly vii
lain be caught and the terrible crime
proved upon him, 1t will be harder to
save him from the rope than it will to
hang him, as a citizen of that town re-
marked to-day.
Judge Weber, of New Ulm, in q
case prosecuted by CoIlester and Foster,
of this city, has decided that in real es-
tate transfers grantee taking land in
the name Of Albert H. Mum, and deed

conveys no title without proof of identi-
fcation, notwithstanding the deed Ia
Albert H. Mum was produced IN evi.
dence. If this decision be correct there
are great number of very precarloui
titles to real estate on record in this
state as the proof of Identification in

"A word to farmers: Have you
learned anything about stacking grain
this wet season? Ifyour grain was all
stacked out of shock before the rainy
season and remains dry, comfort your.
self that you are in the advance; for al
we passed through the country, we saw
fields of oats in the shock and green a
the butts-and many stacks with a Wig
erous lawn on the bulge. 1t will no
pay to farm that way, neighbor, no

sack covers 30 feet by Is feet for eigh
dollars; two ricks, each 80 feet long
will hold a large crop of grain, anC

After the Lake Crystal fire the door
of the bank vault could not be opened,
and it was necessary 20 drill a hole
through the BRICK wall. Everything
was found to be safe. The papers in
Mr.. Cray's safe were so hot as hardly to
permit of handling, though stream of
water had been turned on the safe at
three different times.
That brick veneering is no protec-
ton from fire is conclusively shown in
the great fire at Lake Crystal last week.
There were two brick veneered build
ings in the burned block and the brick
became so hot as to set the boards on
fire. The flames poured out between
the crevices of the brick in fiery tongues
foot long. The brick was not the
slightest protection.
Mr.. F. G. Heinze has decided to
add another branch to his already large

North Front street a wholesale and re-
tail confectionery business. Special at
tention will be given to the manufacture
of creams and other corrections most
popular with home trade. The estab-

ulars and will be an important addition
to the business interests of the city.
VIM. Schwegel was arrested yester-
day on complaint of Geo. Ehrler for
using abusive language toward him Sat
urday. He was arraigned in the police
court in the afternoon, and plead guilty
to the charge and paid his fine of S. and
costs. Being given permission to speak
in his own defense he showed Ehrler up.
1t was brought out that this man Ehrler
is printer and goes around soliciting
jobs of printing, claiming to charge less
than any one else in the city. He then
goes to job printing Office and has the
work done there and charges a large
commission. He had done so in a job
given him by Schwegel, and for which
he charged 50. He got the work done
at regular printing Office for So, thus
having 81 profits. 1t would be well for
the police to beware of fellows who So

than any of the job printing establish

A line has been surveyed for the st

without saying that Mankato cannot af

outlet constructed few miles away from

During the period named. about is

1885. of the debt remaining en- the lot,
which, with interest, amounted to a little
oyer $1,000. Besides keeping up with the
church and congregational expenses and

more than $1,000, in the time named, SO
that now it is but a little over ST. 500. OF
the amount raised, the Ladies Aid Society
has contributed 1915, a success that even
surprised themselves, and the congrega

more have passed they will be entirely
free from debt.
